Here's a list of songs that are simple and fun to play on the guitar. Most require a bit of distortion and whatnot, but they are possible with an acoustic. I don't want to be accused of elitism.
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse: An easy song mostly played on the sixth string.
Paranoid - Black Sabbath: A classic riff, easily played but it sounds good. The verse has basically three chords, all very easy. The solo requires work, but it's not hard.
Seek And Destroy - Metallica: A great sounding heavy metal epic, known for being the last song Metallica play in their live sets. There's a lot of palm muting and fast down picking, but it's quite easy.
Enter Sandman - Metallica: A classic intro, played clean. Then it goes into a heavy, chugging riff. Great fun to play and not difficult at all.
Breaking The Law - Judas Priest: Another great song, all played with either easy power chords or easy fretted notes. There's no solo and it's a gentle song on the hands.
Back In Black - AC/DC: Oh yes. Probably the most memorable riff in metal history. Easy power chords and slow enough for even a beginner to play.
Please feel free to add more songs in this thread, along with a short reason why. This is here for members who may just be starting playing songs. Enjoy them.
